Abstract: Visoke građevine uzrokuju više ekoloških poteškoća u toku svog vijeka trajanja nego što je to slučaj kod niskih građevina. Da bi se umanjili takovi utjecaji, projektiranje nosivog sustava i održivo projektiranje treba se razmatrati zajednički kod projektiranja visokih građevina. U radu se razmatra primjena kriterija održivog projektiranja na 13 građevina certificiranih prema LEED-u (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Primjena tih kriterija ocjenjuje se na promatranim visokim građevinama u kontekstu metode ocjenjivanja koja se predlaže u radu.<br />Tall buildings cause more environmental difficulties in their life cycles than low-rise buildings. In order to decrease these difficulties, the carrier system design and sustainable design should be considered together in the design of tall buildings. The application of sustainable design criteria on 13 buildings certificated according to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is considered in the paper. The application of these criteria on the studied tall buildings is evaluated in the context of the evaluation method proposed in the paper.
